it seems that your SMTP server mis-implements the SMTP AUTH extension. According to the specification, after a client successfully authenticates, it MUST re-EHLO if it plans to use any of the extensions (which we do). You should complain to your ISP to get their software fixed. your other option is to edit the source code to evolution itself and customise it for your specific (broken) server. the source code you'll want to change is in evolution/camel/providers/smtp/camel-smtp-transport.c in the connect_to_server() function if I recall correctly.
